The great outdoors are always calling, and having the right gear can make every adventure safer and more enjoyable. This list is a collection of my go-to hiking essentials, from comfortable footwear and durable backpacks to hydration gear and other trail-tested favorites. I’ll keep adding to it as I find products I genuinely love and use.
A few hiking necessities that aren’t linked here but should always come along: a well-stocked first aid kit, bear spray where recommended, and enough food and water for your trip. Being prepared is one of the best pieces of gear you can bring.
Most importantly, let’s help keep these beautiful places wild. Follow Leave No Trace principles by packing out what you pack in, respecting wildlife, and leaving every trail, campsite, and viewpoint better than you found it.
Happy hiking, and enjoy the adventure! 🥾🌲⛰️
